every time I see the case of a child who is called a genius, I think about the pressure that child will have throughout their life to constantly prove that they're the best, and if things change over time, they will feel like a failure and feel like they let everyone around them down. Hope she has a good life in the future.

My grandchildren all read well above grade level when they were young. My granddaughter started reading at age 4 and was reading at 12th grade level when she was in 4th or 5th gradeâ the problem with that is, finding books at those high levels that are appropriate for her age is impossible. This was true of her cousin and older brother, too. She has been a bit ahead of grade level all her life and is now going into high school. If a kid is super ahead of their peers, the challenge is social development AND avoiding boredom, and finding ways to motivate them to enjoy learning, work hard and to know/understand that there are many things in life way more important than âhow much you knowâ.

not to say that this child and i are the same, but from preschool i was constantly told how incredibly mature i was for my age, and it led to an abundance of mental health issues and traumas for me because i took it to mean it was okay to immerse myself in mature and adult things. iâm not saying this girlâs abilities should be discounted or ignored, but treating her drastically differently than others her age might result in a lot of struggles down the road. i really hope sheâs doing alright.

Well this sounds like a recipe for depression at age 7
